How am I supposed to solved it.

I only get it to work using master branch of VLC
https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/master-daily
first add the repository
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/master-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc

The vlc-nox package installs vlc
To remove, use:
sudo apt-get purge vlc-nox
Next, to reinstall vlc, use:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc

% sudo snap install vlc
VLC for Debian and many other Linux distributions is also packaged using snap packages. This allows us to distribute latest and greatest VLC versions directly to end users, with security and critical bug fixes, full codec and optical media support.
To install via snap:

I feel like there is something I'm missing here but after a day of messing around with it I still can't figure it out. Any help/insight would be appreciated.
Thanks G10DRAS for providing the link.
This solution worked for me. First, I downloaded these files
sudo wget https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/phonetisaurus/is2013-conversion.tgz
sudo wget http://www.openfst.org/twiki/pub/FST/FstDownload/openfst-1.3.4.tar.gz
Then, untared the files
tar -xvf is2013-conversion.tgz
tar -xvf openfst-1.3.4.tar.gz
Finally, following next steps at: http://jasperproject.github.io/documentation/installation

but still same issue
It would be helpful if someone suggestion me how to fix and install maven
Thanks in advance
May be too late to answer, but I had same issue on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS -- so this may be helpful
Here is a work around...
sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/libwagon2-java_2.2-3+nmu1_all.deb
The command above will install: libwagon2-java_2.2-3+nmu1_all.deb
After this you will be able to install Maven by: $ sudo apt-get install maven
Update your packages by
sudo apt-get update
then try to install.

Installing VLC on Lubuntu (Utopic Unicorn)

I am having some issues installing VLC on Lubuntu (ubuntu) 14.10:
sudo apt-get install vlc
The command returns:

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Recommends: vlc-plugin-samba (= 2.2.0-0ubuntu0.14.10.1) but 2.2.0+ppa3.2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I have tried to install both the packages it recommends (they are already installed apparently).
I have also followed this guide as some was having a similar problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2250015
and installed the xorg ppa to no avail.
Can someone please shed some light on this for me?
Many thanks!
Ed
After the usual
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Do this:
sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc-nox vlc-plugin-notify vlc-plugin-samba
sudo apt-get install vlc
apt-get should install the correct dependency versions now.
Btw why not post this on https://askubuntu.com/ ?
